Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007135640A2] A system (100) and method (300) detect the presence of a narrowband signal having a bandwidth ?F2 in a wideband frequency channel having a bandwidth ?F1>?F2. The method (300) includes digitizing (310) a signal received in the frequency channel; transforming (320) the digitized signal into N digital frequency domain components; averaging (330) the power spectrum of the N digital frequency domain components over a plurality of samples; filtering (340) the averaged power spectrum of the N digital frequency domain components with a filter having M non-zero values spanning a bandwidth, ?F3, where N>M and ?F1>?F3; computing (350) a mean, µ<SUB>k</SUB>, a modified standard deviation, ß<SUB>k</SUB>, and a peak value, P<SUB>MAX</SUB> of the filtered, averaged power; and detecting (360) the presence of the narrowband whenever P<SUB>MAX</SUB> > (k<SUB>1</SUB>*µ<SUB>k</SUB>)+(k<SUB>2</SUB>*ß<SUB>k</SUB>), where k<SUB>1</SUB> and k<SUB>2</SUB> are selected to provide a probability of detection, a probability of missed detection, and a probability of false alarm.
